hed be no match against me fighting in some 3rd world country. true story.
but captain planet he's a hero gonna take pollution down to zero
he's our powers magnetied and he's fighting on the planet's side
now thjat i think about it scott free is a lame hero, yeah he's a new god and all and probaly is greatly strngiger and more durable than a normal human but it is totally stupid that his power is to get out of any trap, and im sure when kirby or whoever it was that created him got a big kik out of the pun in his name.
but nobody is stupider than green arrow, with his arrow speed boat, and arrow wing gliders(circa early 80s) like the ones night wing had in batman: gotham nights or terry in batman beyond. and whats even lamer was that all his accessries were painted yellow. costume and arrows were green but everything else yellow. he even had an arrow tracer---yep yellow
Hey, I thought of another one. I forget his name, but this guy came from Marvel vs DC crossovers. He had a mini series after one, where the mini series was basically cross overs. The guy's power was he had the abilitiy to open portals and teleport, both around and between the two universes. Basically, he was charges with keeping the universes seperate, as it appeared random bad guys would appear in the opposing universe and try to fight people, and the hero was suppose to sort everything out.
But what it came down too is all he did to save the day was go fetch other heroes to do it for him. Thats it.
No suprise that this forum seems to involve many DC characters, is it?
Didn't think so.
Maxim poll was right about one thing for sure: ROBIN as no.1 lamest. That outfit can't be justified, no matter how they try to toughen it up. I mean, think of the movies - Batman is practically bullet-proof armour head to toe. He'd seriously do child endangerment with some teenager in a yellow cape and stick-on face mask? "Robin, run there and decoy them.."
Also beacause I've always disliked kid sidekicks, is the reason he squeezes out Blue Beetle, who's outfit never ceases to make me laugh. What was Steve Ditko thinking?
Mr. Miracle - what a colour scheme. Did someone vomit on him?
And yes, Green Arrow ( who looked somewhat better during his Longbow Hunter days.)
Superman has a garish look too, but isn't bad as a character.
